# Why Intel (INTC) fell 2.29% on October 29, 2026

Intel (INTC) fell 2.29% on October 29, 2026 — Chip selloff on Big Tech capex cuts drags Intel.

## What happened

The Chip Supply Chain sold off as Samsung posted a profit miss and Microsoft and Alphabet signaled lighter capex, and Intel fell about 2.3%.

## Why it moved

Intel's AI and data center sales are tied to the same hyperscaler spending that was pulled back, so weaker capex plans weigh on its near-term setup.

## Why it matters

Within the Chip Supply Chain, Intel is a broad-based chipmaker whose recovery depends on winning data center share as hyperscalers keep building. The group's read on AI capex is what sets the backdrop for its turnaround.

## What would break the thesis

The setup would improve if Intel beats and raises guidance or if strong demand offsets the sector's weakness. Watch the next report for data center revenue and any change to its outlook.
